Jigawa State Governor, Malam Umar Namadi, has urged Nigerians to give President Bola Ahmed Tinubu another opportunity in 2027 to complete his ongoing economic reforms, insisting that the benefits will eventually reach households and farmers across the country.
Namadi made the appeal on Saturday during the flag-off of the 2027 presidential, governorship and other elective positions campaign for the Jigawa North-West Senatorial District in Gumel.
The governor urged voters to support the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidates at all levels, from the presidency to the State House of Assembly, to ensure continuity of the reforms initiated by the Tinubu administration.
He said the country needed to sustain the ongoing economic reforms so that their benefits could translate into improved livelihoods and greater economic opportunities for ordinary Nigerians.
He highlighted Tinubu's agricultural reforms, saying the President was determined to make farming profitable again by ensuring that farmers earned meaningful income from their hard work.
"President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu said farming must pay again. Not just hard work, but money in your pocket. That is the agricultural reform he is championing, and Jigawa will benefit from it," he said.
The governor also appealed to residents of Jigawa North-West to give the APC another mandate, arguing that doing so would enable the party to consolidate its achievements and complete ongoing economic reforms.
Speaking on his administration's performance, Namadi said his government had recorded significant achievements since assuming office in 2023.
